    Way to go at copying and pasting, and cherry picking to project a certain "Narrative"

    In any case, the first sentence should have settled all matters. Its AN IDEOLOGY trying to link it to the Religion of JUDAISM - ie. finding justifications.

    "Religious Zionism (Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת דָּתִית, romanized: Tziyonut Datit) is an ideologythat views Zionism as a fundamental component of Orthodox Judaism"

    So let go that section about IDEOLOGY then (the same Wiki you copied and pasted from)

    Religious Zionists believe that Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) was promised to the ancient Israelites by God. Furthermore, modern Jews have the obligation to possess and defend the land in ways that comport with the Torah's high standards of justice.[4] To generations of diaspora Jews, Jerusalem has been a symbol of the Holy Land and of their return to it, as promised by God in numerous Biblical prophecies. Despite this, many Jews did not embrace Zionism before the 1930s, and certain religious groups opposed it then, as some groups still do now, on the grounds that an attempt to re-establish Jewish rule in Israel by human agency was blasphemous. Hastening salvation and the coming of the Messiah was considered religiously forbidden, and Zionism was seen as a sign of disbelief in God's power, and therefore, a rebellion against God.

    Rabbi Kook developed atheological answer to that claim, which gave Zionism a religious legitimation: "Zionism was not merely a political movement by secular Jews. It was actually a tool of Godto promote His divine scheme, and to initiate the return of the Jews to their homeland – the land He promised toAbraham,Isaac, andJacob. God wants thechildren of Israelto return to their home in order to establish a Jewish sovereign state in which Jews could live according to the laws of Torah andHalakha, and commit theMitzvotof Eretz Israel (these are religious commandments which can be performed only in theLand of Israel). Moreover, to cultivate the Land of Israel was a Mitzvah by itself, and it should be carried out. Therefore, settlingIsraelis an obligation of the religious Jews, and helping Zionism is actually following God's will."[5]


    Some Haredi Jews view establishing Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land before the coming of the Messiah as forbidden, as a violation of the. This would apply whether those who established this sovereignty were religious or secular.




    Anybody else want to read the rest, its all here.
